In this audio, Swamiji discusses the subject of ‘Prasthana Trayam’. The word ‘Prasthāna’ means a voyage in the area or region of knowledge– it is a knowledge voyage. The Upanishads, Brahma Sutras and Bhagavad Gita constitute the ‘Prasthana Traya’. They deal with the knowledge about the mind, intelligence and ego and the character, behavior and interactions of an individual.

‘Prasthāna-trayam’ is the one written record before us which clearly tell us what we are, who we are, how our ancients were, for what did we give the supreme value in life and how that supreme goal was fulfilling in every way and how this becomes the real human quest.
